We received a late graduation announcement so I had to put together a quick card. I wanted to use the lime green report card piece from the Jillibean Soup Alphabet Soup collection so I went in search of something appropriate for the background. I orginally had in mind something from the older Ki Memories collections in black and white. I never found what I was looking for (note to self: patterned paper needs a major reorganization) but I did find a very old sheet of ProvoCraft paper with colorful numbers on it. I thought it fit the school theme I was going for. Of course this meant I had a lot more colors to deal with but it actually fits the personality of the recipient so it all worked out. I stamped my cute Sugar Nellie image with Memento ink onto PTI cardstock, then colored it up with Copic markers.

Cute card! You'd never know that was "old" paper; it makes a great background for your image.
